We divide 72482354 by 261
The aim is to understand the frequency of 261 in 72482354.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 261, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 261

On to step 2:
72 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 724 / 261

Advancing to step 3:
261 goes into 724 2 times with a remainder of 202.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 522 from 724 to get 202.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 202, then carry on: 2028 / 261

Moving on to step 4:
261 goes into 2028 7 times with a remainder of 201.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 201 after subtracting 1827 from 2028.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 201 and repeat the process: 2012 / 261

On to step 5:
If we divide 2012 by 261, we get 7 and a remainder of 185.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 277.0
The remainder is 185 after subtracting 1827 from 2012.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 185, then repeat: 1853 / 261

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 1853 by 261, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2777.0
If we take 1827 away from 1853, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 265 / 261

Let's proceed to step 7:
261 can be fit into 265 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27771.0
Deduct 261 from 265 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 261

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 44 by 261, we get 0 and a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 277710.0
Deduct 0 from 44 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 261, we get 1 and a remainder of 179.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277710.1
Subtract 261 from 440 to get 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1790, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
261 goes into 1790 6 times with a remainder of 224.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277710.16
Subtracting 1566 from 1790 leaves us with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 2240 by 261, we get 8 with a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 277710.168
The remainder is 152 after subtracting 2088 from 2240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
261 can be fit into 1520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 215.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 277710.1685
Deduct 1305 from 1520 and we're left with 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 2150 by 261, we get 8 and a remainder of 62.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277710.16858
Deduct 2088 from 2150 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
261 goes into 620 2 times with a remainder of 98.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 277710.168582
The remainder is 98 after subtracting 522 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
980 divided by 261 is 3 with a remainder of 197.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 277710.1685823
Subtracting 783 from 980 leaves us with 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 261 fits into 1970 7 times, leaving a remainder of 143.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277710.16858237
If we subtract 1827 from 1970, we get 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 277710.16858237, with a leftover of 1.43e-07.
